Disappearing polygons

[cole_bie]

I have a little problem. whenever I import a mesh into the animations tab of unrealed and when its ingame the farther back I pull away the more polygons that disappear. What might be causing this?

It's tkaing me 5 minuets of writing this snce that avater is forcing me to stare at the cieling, but...

Quesiton 1: Are all normals facing the correct direction?

2: What about smoothing? I think I saw something like that once on a model I imported because I hadn't creatied smoothing groups for it and it was all still a bunch of obvious tris.

If neither of those things helps, click on the mesh extension to the right in the animation browser, there should be a level of detail option there. Change the LOD to a lower number and the mesh should stay more "full" the further away you are, though that'll obviously decrease perforamnce a tad if it's too complex.

Ok thanks for the advice, and is my avatar really that annoying? Because it seems to annoy quite a few people. I thought it was pretty funny and so did a couple other people but if it that annoying for that many people I would be happy to change it.

Btw the LOD thing worked, thanks.

It's not annoying or anything like that...

...it just utterly, totally decimates, destroys and decapitates every early childhood memory I ever held dear.


I had a very sheltered childhood. :D
